*Non-stock item, minimum runs apply. Please consult Customer Service for price and delivery. (1) Ampacities are in accordance with Table 310-73 of the NEC for triplexed or three single conductor copper cable in isolated conduit in air, based on a conductor temperature of 105˚C (221˚F) and an ambient air temperature of 40˚C (104˚F). (2) Ampacities are in accordance with Table 310-77 of the NEC for triplexed or three single conductor copper cable in underground ducts (three conductors per duct), based on a conductor temperature of 105˚C (221˚F) and an ambient earth temperature of 20˚C (68˚F), electrical duct arrangement per Figure 310.60 Detail 1, 100% load factor, and earth thermal resistance (rho) of 90. (3) Based on nominal cable diameters, three single cables in the duct (PVC Schedule 40) with no ground wire and a maximum of 40% fill. Jam ratio has been considered, but it should be checked for individual installations. Dimensions and weights are nominal; subject to industry tolerances. Note: The NESC Lighting bolt symbol is on all Uniblend constructions. ®
